Run for Resilience

The National Council of Urban Indian Health (NCUIH), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, invites you to join us for a virtual run/walk to raise funding and awareness for NCUIH's critical work that supports the resiliency of the American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) community through meaningful change in the social equity of health care.

Every step, stride and effort builds resiliency!

Tell us why you run/walk! After you register, take a picture or selfie with a sign to tell us why you run/walk to post on social media with #runforresilience hashtag to be featured on NCUIH's social sites! 

Please visit the "Donate" tab to help us reach our fundraising goal of $5,000! Urban Native communities across the U.S. face a healthcare crisis, including higher health disparity rates due to isolation from tribal lands and identity, lack of adequate health care, and distressed economic conditions. Because of consequences due to multiple traumas, having culturally competent and sensitive healthcare services available to urban AI/AN is a vital part of quality care.

A donation to NCUIH will support our critical work to ensure AI/AN living in urban settings have access to comprehensive and culturally-competent healthcare resources. ***The Dr. Stapp Award will be presented (virtually) to the individual who raises the most funding!***

This is a virtual race -- please complete your selected distance (5k or 3k) anytime during the week of May 23, 2021 - May 30, 2021. All participants will receive a thoughtfully-designed race t-shirt, sticker and medal!
